I know right? I thought I was crazy when I explained that DA combat system sucked and how it can be better. Guess I wasn't.
You found a single person who agrees with you and at least four people who don't, and that's just in the last few posts.
I didn't say that they should get rid of the party system all together I mean make it optional of wanted have companions to travel with you or travel alone and not strongly focus on a party based game too much. If you like their style of gameplay that's fine, I still think they did a poor job on it though.
You can already do this. You've been able to do it since the very first game. In fact, there is often special dialogue recognizing the fact that you're traveling alone, which suggests to me that this is in fact a supported play style - one of many.
Whoa! I'm saying why not have options to choose to have control of what you want to do and don't have to feel forced. It's just my opinion dude.
The games you list earlier all basically have a single supported playstyle. Unless we have a drastically different relationship with words and their definitions, that sounds like the opposite of "options."
That said, I contend that you already have the choice insofar as you can choose to play a hundred other excellent games that do precisely what you want instead of changing one of the comparatively few (let's face it, just about the only big budget) RPGs that play like this.
And I agree that it's just your opinion. Does that make it immune to criticism when you offer it up on a public forum? I happen to feel at least as strongly as you do that your particular ideas are terrible (at the very least, incredibly uninformed and poorly thought out), and they would measurably harm the game. And you still haven't offered even a semi-coherent defense of of them.
